Vehicle door mirror

摘要

In a vehicle door mirror, Between a circumferential edge of a mirror body 2 of a reflection mirror unit 1 in which a lighting unit 10 is incorporated and a flange on a circumferential edge 3a of a holder 3, a gap 4 for light emission is provided in a state in which the circumferential edges thereof are partially spaced from each other in a radial direction, and in the gap, a light emitting portion 10L of the lighting unit 10 is secondarily disposed. In this manner, a driver can directly visually recognize light that is emitted from the light emitting portion 10L, and a decrease in reflection area of the mirror body 2, which is caused by forming the gap 4, can be restrained to its required minimum level, making it possible to ensure an effective field of view of the door mirror.

主权项

1. A vehicle door mirror comprising:
a reflection mirror unit, comprising:
a mirror body having a circumferential edge;a holder having a flange on a circumferential edge of the holder, and holding the mirror body, the circumferential edge of the mirror body being partially spaced from the circumferential edge of the holder in a radial direction such that a gap for light emission exists between the circumferential edges; anda circuit board having a light emitting unit with a light emitting portion, the light emitting portion disposed in the gap, wherein the light emitting portion has a light emission surface parallel to a reflection surface of the mirror body such that light is emitted from the light emission surface in a direction perpendicular to the reflection surface of the mirror body and perpendicular to the radial direction,wherein the holder comprises a recessed portion forming a closed space with respect to a back face of the mirror body, the recessed portion disposed at a circumferential side proximal position that corresponds to the gap, the circuit board arranged in the recessed portion,wherein an opening of the recessed portion is closed by means of a cap, and the mirror body is adhesively bonded and fixed over the cap and a general portion of the holder.
